- Run on the thread, take around the bend in touching turns and remove the tag end.
- Tie in a brown leg strand and bind down up the hook. Wind forward in touching turns varying the tension to taper the body, tie in and trim off the waste.
- Tie in a piece of poly-yarn lying over the hook eye.
- Tie in a yellow leg strand on either side of the hook a little way back from the eye.
- Dub behind the rear legs and over the thread warps.
- Fold back the wing separating the front legs and tie down.
- Dub over the wing fold, smear the thread with varnish and whip finish.
- Trim the legs and wing to length.
